Edit: Don't miss the link in the article to the slippy map zoomable version at https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic1502a/zoomable/
Now while watching the video, do keep that picture of Andromeda in the back of your mind, and that the Hubble telescope was aimed at the darkest corner of the universe! Factor in Kepler stuff, and draw your own conclusions.
And zooming back, here I am, sitting on a chair in an irrelevant part of that thin blue layer on a ball of iron and oxygen, crying of joy, hope, and a little bit of sadness for those of us that keep throwing flak – whether bombs or words – at each other in a delusion of self-importance. How feeble are we, merely able to be at peace with our kin; how frail, when we can barely camp out in such close proximity to our home. Please, world, let's race to space again, in a – this time around – friendly competition.
(Edited to add) The individual stars you can see when you zoom all the way in are the very brightest stars, mostly blue (O/B class) or red (K/M class) giants. For each star you can see, there are hundreds of smaller stars that you can't make out individually but contribute to the general background glow.
No, it's 100 million, as the article says.
> It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.
Yeah, like ours.
